MAJOR GIFTS TO PROVIDE NEW ATHLETICS FACILITIES AT ELON
Elon University will expand the John Koury Field House in the North Athletics Complex thanks to major gifts by two couples who have historic ties to Elon sports.
Alumni Jay and Amy Hendrickson of Raleigh, N.C., have made a $1 million gift to name the new Hendrickson Football Center in honor of Jay's father, Horace J. Hendrickson, one of Elon's all-time great coaches.
Alumnus and trustee Zac Walker and his wife Dot of Raleigh, N.C., have made a $500,000 gift to name the athletics director suite in the new facilities in honor of Zac's father, Zachary T. Walker Jr., a member of Elon's Sports Hall of Fame, and Zac's uncle, D.C. "Peahead" Walker, another of Elon's all-time great coaches.
In addition, the Walkers have designated another $500,000 gift to support scholarships in the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business.
